ok, i am kinda new to the honda world. i have an ob1 ls in an eg hatch. i need a new block. also have plans for ls/vtec in the future. and since i have some ctr pistons i was planning on putting them in it. can this be done??? the compression height of the pistons is the same and the thickness of the wrist pins in the same...so i would assume so. but the ls rods will not fit into the piston they are too wide. does anyone know if i needs new rods? or what???

 

the pistons or rods need to be machined to accept the piston other than that they fit perfectly without any other modifications. and if youre planning on running big cams id clay the motor for piston to valve clearance

 

+1, this man is a genious

 

+1 as well, roninb18c5 is going to be selling his set up soon, already machined perfectly and what not you should pm him. he is a great and very trust worthy seller. however don't expect to be able to lowball, this shit isn't cheap to build.

 

alright guys thanx for the help. ill let you know when it runs.

 

Don't forget to consider ARP rod bolts

 

arp rod bolts alrady purchased and installed. but thanx

 

also...the ctr's i got dont have wrist pins in them....i should be able to use the ls ones right? they seem long enough. just figured id ask while on the subject.

 

well were they cold pressed or hot pressed out of the ls pistons

 

cold
